DESCRIPTION
Our understanding of lipedema has revolutionized over the last decade through research and clinical experience, but most especially by the awakening of women themselves to the realities of lipedema and related lymphatic/fat disorders.

The emotional impact of living with a chronic and visibly disfiguring disorder can seem unsurmountable. During this symposium, we introduce simple tools for understanding the complexities we live with including media’s impact on women’s body image & identity, emotional mapping, self-regulation, empathy, the integration of body/mind/spirit, and the power of social connection in community.

We invite you to explore self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-loving, and connection in the presence of the challenges that these diseases bring.

You can embrace living your best life with lipedema and lymphedema.

Thank goodness for you ladies. I feel so alone in this. I have suffered medical trauma and in general have found a real lack of care, concern and ordinary empathy among the medical professionals I’ve worked with. It’s made me untrusting and fearful of doctors’ offices, testing facilities and hospitals.

Hope this will be on YouTube? As right now in not able to pay this I’m already gone over my credit limit getting things to help me as I live in rural where it’s 2 hours to get help with my lymphedema. I have learned so much already . But, I’m angry 😡 lonely and scared.
